HoYoverse announces Petit Planet release date

HoYoverse has announced that its new cozy life-simulation game, Petit Planet, will launch globally on December 4, 2026. The title will be available on PC via the Epic Games Store and the company’s own launcher, as well as on iOS and Android mobile devices.

Moving away from the action and role-playing genres that defined its previous hits, Petit Planet focuses on a relaxed experience where players manage and customize their own small planet. Gameplay includes activities such as building homes, farming, fishing, and interacting with various characters. Players can also explore the Starsea and visit the Galactic Bazaar to interact with other players through mini-games and item exchanges.

The game will follow a free-to-play model with in-app purchases. Pre-registration is currently open on the Epic Games Store, Google Play, and the App Store, offering rewards such as furniture and clothing items. A special broadcast regarding the game is scheduled for November 1. While currently limited to PC and mobile, a port for Switch 2 is reportedly planned for 2027.
